Bra Bulge Workout: 6 At-Home Moves To Zap Back Fat For Good

Most of us want to tone only the seen areas, such as legs, belly, butt, and arms. But what do we do with the back fat? Yes you can easily hide it underneath your clothes, but when you put on that swimsuit, the situation chances. All that skin and fat will hang and gather between your straps…and there’s nothing sexy about it! This means that you have to get rid of it, even if it’s an unseen part of your body.

Another thing, actually the most important one, is that toning and strengthening your back muscles is the best defense against pain, injury or poor posture in the future.

The following classic strength moves target all of the muscles from your upper body to banish that bra bulge and to sculpt a strong sexy back!

Important: you have to do these exercises for 3-4 days a week, 1 set of each exercise with no rest between the moves. Once you finish the last exercise, take 3 minute rest then repeat the whole circuit 1-2 more times.

Grab a pair of 2- to 3-pound dumbbells and stand with feet hip-width apart. Take a slight bend in knees as you shift hips back and lower torso until it’s parallel to the floor. Bring weights together and turn palms to face forward. Keeping arms straight, lift weights up to shoulder height then lower back down. Make sure to keep core and glutes engaged the entire time. Do 15 reps.

Grab a 15- to 25-pound dumbbell in one hand. Stand with feet hip-width apart, bend knees, and shift hips back, lowering torso until nearly parallel with the ground. Place right hand on a wall in front of you for balance.

Draw the weight up toward chest by bending left elbow straight up toward the ceiling. Make sure to keep shoulder blades down and together and core engaged the entire time. Do 10 reps on each side.

Grab a pair of 5- to 10-pound dumbbells and stand with feet hip-width apart, knees slightly bent. Shift hips back as you lower torso until nearly parallel with the ground.

Turn palms to face each other, bend elbows, and lift weights up to shoulder height. Focus on using your back, not your arms, to raise the weights. Gently lower back down, keeping core and glutes engaged during the entire movement. Do 10 reps.

Loop a band on top of a pull-up bar or the Life Fitness Machine at your gym. Hold onto the bar with hands slightly wider than shoulder width, palms facing each other. Place one foot (or knee if you prefer) inside the band. Hang at arm’s length. You should return to this position—known as a dead hang—each time you lower back down.

Pull body up in one straight line, bringing head just above hands. Squeeze shoulder blades together and pull upper arms down forcefully. Slowly lower body all the way back down to dead hang. Repeat motion without swinging. Aim for 8 to 10 reps.

Come into a straight-arm plank with hands below and in line with shoulders, feet slightly wider than hip-width apart. Keeping hips as still as possible, lift one arm up to shoulder height. Return to center, then lift the other arm to shoulder height. Draw belly button up and in and keep your body centered. Do 10 reps each side.

Come into a pushup position with hands slightly wider than shoulder width, feet hip-width apart. Your body should form a straight line from heels to head. Bend elbows and lower body until hovering a few inches above the ground. Hold for 1 deep breath, and then press half-way up and hold for 1 deep breath. Lower back down to your lowest point, holding for 1 deep breath. Come back to your half-way point for one more hold. Repeat pattern 3 more times, 5 times total.
